Nai quarantine for suspected cases is one of the ONLY ways of minimising the spread of this flu. It is not mild and has the potential be deadly to the weak, immunosuppressed, elderly and new born babies.

I hope your little one is well soon and that swine flu can be ruled out - as you can see by the people you have been in contact with the potential of spread is vast if people are not quarantined on suspicion.

I dread to think what would happen to myself or my Imogen if I was to come in contact in our current health states. I am grateful for the quarrantine rules - but also very empathetic how it can impact greatly on some financially.

What do you believe is inept?

Someone said you have to pay $90 for the test - this is not right. A swab will be taken and cultured and this will tell you. This will be bulk billed if your GP ticks the box - if not you will pay the usual gap.
